Paper towel
Kitchen paper is one of those everyday essentials worth taking a second look at: what is it made from — and does it have to be single-use at all? This selection includes kitchen rolls, folded hand towels and hand towel rolls from Green Hygiene, as well as the reusable bamboo kitchen roll from Pandoo.
How to recognise good kitchen paper
- The raw material: Recycled paper (rPaper) uses waste paper instead of virgin fibre — Green Hygiene's KARLA kitchen rolls are 3-ply and made from rPaper.
- How much you get: Compare sheet counts rather than roll counts: the KAI-UWE kitchen roll comes in a pack of 12, with 100 sheets per roll, while the RAINER hand towel roll contains 8 rolls with 450 sheets each.
- Single-use or reusable: Pandoo's bamboo kitchen roll contains 20 reusable cloths — so one roll replaces many conventional disposable rolls.
Our brands: why we chose them
Green Hygiene gives its products first names — KAI-UWE, INGEBORG, KARLA and FRIEDA — and covers all your household paper needs, from kitchen roll supplies and folded hand towels to hand towel rolls, including kitchen rolls made from recycled paper. Pandoo focuses on bamboo: its reusable kitchen roll with 20 cloths is the choice for anyone looking to reduce single-use paper step by step.
In practice: reduce single-use products without compromising on convenience
In everyday use, the division of labour works well: reusable cloths handle daily wiping and drying, while conventional kitchen paper is reserved for anything that should go straight in the bin — such as blotting grease or cleaning up a raw egg mishap. Folded hand towels with N- or V-folds can be dispensed one at a time, making them practical anywhere there are lots of hands involved — from guest toilets to workshops.
What does rPaper mean?
The “r” stands for recycled: the paper is made from waste paper fibres rather than fresh wood. The KARLA kitchen rolls are one example — 3-ply and made from rPaper.
How does the reusable bamboo kitchen roll work?
Pandoo's roll contains 20 bamboo cloths designed for repeated use: use, wash, reuse — instead of throwing them away after a single use.
Where can you find more household paper?
